Samsung Galaxy s22 Plus - Bora Purple (Unlocked)

Took my chances on a used phone, it has not disappointed me yet. Four months later, I am writing the review, using said phone. I have not found anything wrong, other than its a Samsung and not an iphone, as some would argue. Everything works just as it should. My only warning is to those woth butterfingers- the long edges of this phone are rounded, that means 98% of phone cases for it will stop short of that, so you can touch that sloped edge. I know my phones have fallen and have been saved by the case coming up over the front edges. If this is you, make sure you can find a good case before committing to this phone.

The phone came in what I can only call perfect condition. No blemishes whatsoever. The one problem I had was that whoever applied the soft screen protector did a lousy job, as there was a grain of salt sized piece of something under it right in the middle of the screen. The resulting bubble in the plastic was bigger than the camera punch hole. I destroyed the protectors usefulness and still couldn't get it off. But the phone is great and the price was right. Would happily buy a refurbished from Amazon and RDX again.

Update) After running the diagnosis, the local service center told me it was because the sim was not connecting to the network, which could be either due to faulty sim card, carrier software, or issue within the phone itself. I contacted my carrier and tries swapping the sim card in another phone, which shows that the sim was working fine. So I contacted samsung customer service again, they told me to send the phone over to repair it. After about a week, I have received the phone. The service statement says cause of problem was WPC FAILURE, and solution was S/W UPDATED. I got my phone back after a week, the software was updated and the phone was working fine so far. Hopefully there wont be any more issues in the near future. --------- Purchased the S21fe early July this year, been having so much issue since purchased. I was unable to receive phone calls for over a month. Tried so many things to fix the issues. One day, I was able to receive phone calls after resetting everything, and thought the problem was finally resolved... I was wrong. Another issue popped up; the audio quality during phone call became so bad, the other side couldn't understand a single word I said. Then again, after the help from Samsung customer service, I was able to resolve that issue. While I thought everything was good.... I couldn't receive the phone call again!!! Have booked an appointment with a local service center, hopefully they can fix it. Aside from that, my phone still hasn't received the August security patch, it has been one month since the patch released. It's been so frustrating trying to deal with the issue and having to worry about missing important calls. (Also can't return it, because I thought a software update would fix the problem and has been waiting and waiting, and 30 days has passed, issue still there)

I never buy the latest thing. Too expensive. But this was on sale for Prime Day and a very good deal. I was upgrading from a Samsung S10e with a battery that was starting to get really low on charged time and some apps were getting glitchy and kept crashing. Since this was on sale, I decided it was time to upgrade on a four and half year old phone. Saved $180 on Prime Day. Much cheaper than if I bought it from my service provider. I can only compare it to my previous phones but this is a very noticeable improvement in quality and operation. It works well, quicker and a little smoother operating than the S10e. In switching sim card to this phone, there were no glitches for the service provider, Consumer Cellular. I play a lot of games. and the apps are running without crashing anymore and it works well. Battery is solid not great, but a definite upgrade from my previous Samsung. Display is sharper and a bigger screen which means a better viewing experience for my old eyes. Setting up the fingerprint security has improved greatly since I last bought. Much quicker and easier. Haven't really pushed the camera yet, but even after moving my pictures from my old phone, looking at those older pictures is better on this phone. A definite and noticeable upgrade. Overall pleased with this phone. More pleased with the deal.

I had a little trouble getting my phone delivered. USPS kept trying to deliver it when I wasn't home and they required a signature so I had to go to the regional distribution center to pick it up, but it is definitely worth buying. My S21 ultra had all the original plastic wrap still on the device but didn't come with the original charging cable or original samsung box. The phone was basically brand new and I could live without the new box and charging cable having had Samsung devices previously. Setting up the device on Sprint/ T-mobile was a little difficult and I had to take it into the T-mobile store to have them register the device instead of just switching my sim card. I loved the phantom titanium color with the carbon fiber camera module and it was way cheaper than buying new from Samsung's website. Definitely recommend buying Amazon renewed!
